MOVIE REVIEW: STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS
“Science fiction done right.” STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS is the next instalment in the blockbuster franchise starring Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana & Benedict Cumberbatch. It’s a film that takes what has been set before & further establishes itself as the best thing to happen to Star Trek in a very long time. INTO DARKNESS without getting too much into the story...

MOVIE REVIEW: IRONMAN 3
“A polarizing yet entertaining experience.” IRONMAN 3 has me divided to say the least. One part of me loves the film for embracing Tony Stark & creating a superior film to the forgettable IRONMAN 2. On the other hand there’s certain liberties that are taken with the plot that near ruined the entire experience for me. I won’t spoil anything, but let’s just say...

Lately I don’t feel like I’m apart of anyone’s lives who are close to me. I feel like I’m drifting farther away every single day & what seemed to start as a paranoia is becoming a painful reality. I’m not saying it’s everyone’s fault & I’m not to be blamed, I’m not that good of a person to begin with. I find more solace in fiction than...

OPINION: WHY LUCASARTS CLOSING DOWN IS BOTH GOOD &...
“The dawn or end of a new age for STAR WARS.” In case you hadn’t noticed, LUCASARTS has officially been shut down today halting all projects the studio had going for it. For those of you that just clenched your Star Wars Slurpee cups, yeah that means STAR WARS 1313 is on hold for now. But instead of looking at this negatively for the STAR WARS brand, I’m gonna try to be...

OPINION: WHY THE WALKING DEAD'S SEASON 3 FINALE...
“The above photo is me watching this finale, face palming.” THE WALKING DEAD is a superb comic book boasting intelligent story telling with nail biting white knuckle tension. It’s a comic about the characters, their relationships to one another & that dreadful feeling of what lurks beyond. Although I’ve had problems before with THE WALKING DEAD in it’s live...

SPOILER-FREE VIDEO GAME REVIEW: BIOSHOCK INFINITE
“Digital Nirvana.” BIOSHOCK INFINITE is the next instalment in the highest rated first person shooter series of all time, BIOSHOCK. But does INFINITE break from it’s impossible anticipation & disappoint? Not even close. INFINITE is in every sense as great as the original, I’ll tell you why.

WHY GAMES THESE DAYS KINDA SUCK
“The hell I live in.” “I paid $60 for this?” That seems to be a common thing I say nowadays to myself after completing a videogame. Maybe I’m just hard to please or I have ridiculously high expectations of the things I love, or maybe I’m just tired of the grind. The grind of mediocrity. Seriously, think about it. Of all the games you buy these days which...

VIDEOGAME REVIEW: GEARS OF WAR JUDGMENT
“Trust your guts.” GEARS OF WAR JUDGMENT is a prequel to the GEARS trilogy & follows Damn Baird as he leads Kilo Squad into the heart of Locust territory in order to save Halvo Bay. It’s also a very polarizing experience that is equally awesome & underwhelming at times. Does that make sense? No? Lemme explain what I mean. JUDGMENT as I’ve said follows Kilo Squad....

VIDEOGAME REVIEW: TOMB RAIDER

Let’s get into it, shall we? From the get...

VIDEOGAME REVIEW: METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE
“I am lightning, the rain transformed.” METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE is the sorta-not really sequel to the near perfect finale, METAL GEAR SOLID 4: GUNS OF THE PATRIOTS. But with a different developer, shift on gameplay mechanics & tone is this game really worthy of the Metal Gear mantle? It’s more yes then I’d say no in that account. While MGRR does establish...

OPINION: WHY WONDER WOMAN WOULD MAKE A FANTASTIC...
Wonder Woman is arguably one of the hardest superheroes to translate to the silver screen & it baffles me because the solutions & tone seem to make so much sense to nobody in Hollywood these days. After a cancelled tv pilot, rumours of another tv show in the works & the recent release of a fan short film I’ve realized it’s time to set the record straight. So how does DC...

VIDEOGAME REVIEW: FIRE EMBLEM AWAKENING
“Caustic are the ties that bind.” FIRE EMBLEM AWAKENING is the next instalment in Nintendo’s pivotal strategy role-playing series. But does the new features, characters, story & use of it’s 3D technology hinder or excel the experience to new heights? To put it blatantly, AWAKENING is a bonafide masterpiece of gaming.
It’s the most in-depth, customizable &...

Final Fantasy XIII, Infinite Undiscovery, Star Ocean IV, The Last Remnant…the list goes on. But suddenly there was a light in the darkness of mediocrity & I immediately held back from fears...

I know I’m opinionated & I know that I can carry entire conversations by myself & for the people that follow me know, clearly I can write some shit. Maybe not all good shit, but...

VIDEOGAME REVIEW: FAR CRY 3
“Welcome to the jungle.” FAR CRY 3 is the next instalment in the ongoing open-world series of games from UBISOFT MONTREAL. In FAR CRY 2 the player was situated in Africa & had to survive amongst rivalling warlords while battling Malaria. That game was flawed but extremely fun & I always wished for the next FAR CRY to be in an open lush jungle with no constraints or limit to...
